John-
I would be willing to bet that at the time of Gabel's first show in Biloxi the chips were in the vault. I stopped by the Copa to buy some Harley chips they had on the table and got into a discussion with the manager. We talked collecting. He said if I would wait a minute he would get me a "souvenir". He went down the circular stairs to the office and came back with a Pride of Mississippi chip and gave it to me. I have to think that wasn't the only one he had . I know at the next Biloxi show Greg and I were talking about a guy who had put a bunch up on EBay. Greg knew him and he seemed to have a quantity. He may have gotten the ones that were on the ship.
I sure miss the Biloxi shows.
